Russia has responded to the demand of Kiev to dissolve the DNI and LC

Russian senators commented on the requirement of the Kiev authorities to dissolve the DPR and LPR to implement the Minsk agreements. It spoke members of the Federation Council Sergei Tsekov in an interview with RT and Franz Klintsevich in an interview with Regnum.

In particular, Senator from Crimea Tsekov noted that the statement of Kiev “very strange”. “They are ready to perform the Minsk agreement, but personally fill in the paragraph about the dissolution of the DNI and the DNI. This is a flagrant violation,” he said. According to him, this demonstrates the instability and inconsistency of the Ukrainian authorities.

MP Frants Klintsevich stressed that Kiev uniquely interprets “the formula Steinmeier,” but at the moment we are talking about a direct rejection of the agreement. “[This] will inevitably lead to the disruption of these agreements. This means that war, in which almost every day people are dying, will continue”, — concluded the Senator.

Earlier in Kyiv said that the implementation of the political part of Minsk agreements, which also includes providing the region a special status, is possible only after the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Lugansk people’s Republic will be dissolved. In the Donbas region have accused Ukraine’s authorities in an attempt of substitution of concepts.

Ukraine signed the Minsk agreement from Kiev require the adoption of the law on Amnesty for participating in the conflict on the side of the breakaway republics of individuals, changes of the Constitution, which will spell out the special status of Donetsk and Lugansk regions and their right to linguistic self-determination, restoration of socio-economic relations not with Kiev-controlled territories and so on.
